Exclusive Green Day Performance Video Available on Verizon Wireless

For Green Day fans who can't get enough of the band's performances, Verizon Wireless and Verizon said that they are bringing exclusive content to their video platforms and giving customers chances to win Green Day gear.

According to a release, full production video footage from Green Day's "21st Century Breakdown" tour is now available on V CAST Video from Verizon Wireless and on Verizon FiOS TV Video on Demand (VOD).

Verizon Wireless, which sponsored Green Day's first full North American tour in more than three years, shot the video using 13 high-definition cameras during the band's Aug. 22 concert in Phoenix. Fans can relive the event with six exclusive songs from the concert, including "Time of Your Life," "Know Your Enemy," "Minority," "Jesus of Suburbia," "Brain Stew" and "21st Century Breakdown."

Verizon Wireless said customers with V CAST Video-capable phones, including the BlackBerry Storm smartphone, can go to the Music section of V CAST Video and select "All the Best Music Videos" then "Exclusives" to see the Green Day videos. Verizon FiOS TV customers can access the content on VOD by pressing the "VOD" or "On Demand" button on their FiOS remote control, by using the menu on FiOS TV's Interactive Media Guide, or by selecting VOD channel 900.

Verizon Wireless said customers who own a BlackBerry Tour smartphone or BlackBerry Storm smartphone can text "GD" to 5509 or log onto vcastlive.com/gd on their smartphone's browser to start accessing the free music, which includes full-length, live performance tracks of "21 Guns," "Last of the American Girls" and "21st Century Breakdown," plus an "East Jesus Nowhere" ringtone and exclusive Green Day wallpaper. Each song was recorded at the legendary Studio 880, where Green Day has recorded regularly since 2001.

Verizon Wireless is also bringing Green Day fans another interactive way to enjoy their favorite band. Fans can go to www.vcastlive.com from now until Dec. 31 to test their mashing skills by remixing songs from 21st Century Breakdown with the Green Day masher. The masher that receives the most "props" for their mash at the end of the contest will win a Green Day Rock Set that includes a guitar signed by Green Day lead guitarist Billy Joe Armstrong, in addition to drummer Tre Cool's box drum kit. Masher participants can also redeem a Green Day ringtone of "East Jesus Nowhere."
